Inactivation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 in Proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) Neurons Causes Decreased Pomc Expression, Mild Obesity, and Defects in Compensatory Refeeding

Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that signals body energy status to the brain by acting on multiple neuronal subgroups in the hypothalamus, including those that express proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) and agouti-related protein (Agrp). Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is a...
